I'm really sorry, I don't understand your question...are you asking if it is possible to go from eating 'what to eat when you can't eat anything' to a kind of diet that I suggested? My typical day involves: waking up and taking probiotics with a large glass of room temperature water, then a big cup of yogi tummy ease tea with a peppermint cap. I then have a huge bowl of oatmeal made with water with a banana. Lunch can be anything from: brown rice bread (I am off wheat at the moment because white wheat makes me too constipated and wholewheat gives me too many loose poos!) with tahini (sesame seed butter) and cherry tomatoes, or with avocado and cherry tomatoes. Or it can be brown rice with vegetable soup (lots of vegies), brown rice pasta with cooked carrots in olive oil and garlic. Or chicken breast cooked in olive oil and lots of herbs and spices. My fruit intake at the moment is mangoes, bananas, and lots of fruit purees. My diet is limited at the moment and I am trying to reintroduce more vegies because I have had a very hard 5 months with my IBS. i was pretty stable for years on wholewheat and everything, but a bug in May threw my bowels to the diarrhea side (after YEARS of C!!! was very strange...) so now it is still very sensitive to rough fibres...but prone to getting C too, so i am adjusting a very fine balance! Good luck, am happy to answer lots of questions. Fluids are so important, esp warm ones and exercise is VITAL
